| 520 | |a "The music of Thomas Weelkes (1575?-1623), one of the boldest and most individual of the Elizabethan madrigal-composers, was characterized by youthful enthusiasm and vivid imagination and--like that of the great sixteenth-century Italian madrigalists who influenced him--by the use of chromaticism and dissonance. The virility, breadth, and powerful imagery of his music make him a major figure, but, by an ironical twist of fate, his career was to fall short of his gifts and end in a tragic decline. Unfortunately, no letters and no certain musical autographs of Weelkes' have survived; thus, as Gustav Reese put it, 'Trying to trace his biography is like proceeding from complete darkness into twilight.' 'The one thing that is really definite about him,' writes David Brown, 'is his surviving music--at its best thoroughly positive, clear-headed, imposing and imaginative.' Most of the documentary evidence tells only of his shortcomings--for example, that he was expelled from his position as organist of Chichester Cathedral because 'he hath been, and is noted and famed for a common drunkard and a notorious swearer and blasphemer.' Nothing definitive is known about Weelkes' origins, his musical education or attitudes, the environment in which he lived and worked, or the circumstances surrounding the creation of any of his music. It is not surprising, therefore, that, until now, no full-length study of Weelkes and his music was ever published. Besides presenting new biographical material, David Brown analyzes in detail Weelkes' music, which includes not only some of the finest madrigals in the literature but also the impressive church anthems and the Services--particularly the ninth, in which Weelkes' crossing of the polyphonic manner of the Renaissance style with the magnificent extroversion of the Baroque produced perhaps the finest and 'most lastingly impressive experience in the whole range of his music.' Weelkes emerged during a phase of violent musical transition that brought, among with exciting possibilities, the technical and expressive uncertainties that beset a culture in a state of flux. How Weelkes responded creatively to this situation is a dominant theme of Mr. Brown's book." --Dust jacket. | ||
